LP MAG only problem with EMAG

The internal reg reduces the pressure to around 400psi. Not low enough pressure? (Oh yeah- the LX uses a little more air than the non-LX version.)

400psi ???

not hardly!

I personaly think 300psi and up are gas hogs!

The reason that it is not more LP is that that would make the efficiency WORSE. I believe AGD did a large amount of testing to get the perfect pressure/volume for efficiency.

If I remember correctly, the final pressure on the ball is something like 80psi. Don't quote me on that though.

And if you don't like it? Deal

**boomerfoxtrot** · 12-03-2002, 08:06 PM

well then.. if that is the case..

WHY the HECK do I USE SOOOO MUCH gas?

**freek133** · 12-03-2002, 08:07 PM

Doesnt it take the same amount of air/same amount of pressure to push a ball out of a barrel at 300fps?

Just a question, i am not debating you moose, but wondering as well.

Low pressure does nothing for effeciency; take a look at shockers for example. Low pressure can be used to prevent paint chopping but in terms of effeciency and accuracy nothing comes out of it.

**boomerfoxtrot** · 12-03-2002, 08:10 PM

well, I don't know .. I'm not a air tech..

that's why I'm asking questions..

cause I got shot in the BUTT a few times b/c I ran out of AIR!

and it's not cool to have a full 68/45 and drop 5 pods and a hoppper and run out of air on the 6 pod..

that's

200 + 150x5= 950 off a 68/4500 ..... not cool..

300psi+ is a gas hog, yet the Impulse, Shocker, Matrix(even with bolt kit) all run at below 300psi and are known as some of the worse gas-mileage markers out there ...

well, maybe my thinking is off...

I might of had a leak who knows.....

**potti** · 12-03-2002, 08:24 PM

other things contribute to efficiency such as barrels and paint-to-barrel match. i do believe LX uses a little more air as was said by dayspring

Pressure makes the valve work

The high imput pressure is what makes the mag valve the fastes on the market. If you go lower is will slow the recharge rate down. The most efficient pressure will vary with gun but I have a Viking that is very efficient because it was designed to be.

Boomer,

What kind of barrel are you using? What lenght? Porting? Paint to barrel match? What loader are you using? All of these factors will affect your efficency. Let us know what your set up is and maybe we can help ya get a few hundred extra rounds out of a fill.

wow..thats nothing compared to what i used to shoot, i used to shoot a super nova, and i got myabe 2 1/4 hoppers off of my 68/3k tank...thats around 550...

First off, The pressure in the valve chamber has nothing to do with the pressure behind the ball. Also, It has nothing to do with how efficient the paintball gun will be. Just pulling numbers from different gun and comparing then will not work. Especially with the RT value; which is completely different than a typical hammer style valve?

And if you think some number or greater is a gas hog, well there is such a thing as volume. The lower the pressure the more volume you need.

Do a search and read up on this topic I m sure there is more info out there than this.
